The xx – Chained (Live on Fallon)

Following the critically-acclaimed release of Coexist, minimalist UK band the xx recently appeared on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon to showcase their brand of airy, R&B-tinged pop for the show’s American audience. Their performance of “Chained” — one of the album’s better tracks — was a perfect display of Romy Madley-Croft and Oliver Sim’s vocal interplay, along with the band’s signature atmospherics and driving basslines.
